The city government of Legazpi has ordered decongestion of evacuation centers to provide a convenient shelter to families and individuals displaced by the restive Mayon volcano.

“As of now there are 15 families per room of the evacuation centers but we are bringing it down to only eight families per room as part of decongesting the areas to ensure the tranquility of all the people affected by the abnormality of the volcano,” City Mayor Noel Rosal said.

Rosal has directed the offices of the City Social Welfare and Development (CSWDO) and the City Risk Reduction and Management (CRRMO) to decongest all the city’s evacuation centers occupied by the residents covered by the six kilometers Permanent Danger zone (PDZ) and the extended 2 km danger zone in the city’s northern villages at the foot of Mt. Mayon.

The CSWDO has distributed relief goods including drinking water and other daily needs to make sure they are safe in the areas while the Red Cross has pledged to produce sufficient potable water for the affected families.

Rosal also urged the City Health Office to put up its own medical stations and deploy its ambulance cars to all evacuation centers for medical assistance purposes in case of emergency and other medical needs of the evacuees. The city government has ordered a preemptive evacuation on Monday evening to the residents of the five barangays within the 6 – 7 dangerous zones. (SAA-PIA5/Albay)
